PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—AUTUMN FLOWERING BULBS. 39 TRILLIUM. Grandiflorum. (Great American Wood Lily.) This is one of the most beautiful American plants, perfectly hardy, growing and flowering pro- fusely in partially shady nooks about the lawn, under trees, etc. The flowers are large, of the finest white, changing in a few days to soft rose ; if grown several in a pot it makes one of the best white winter flowers. 5c. each, 50c. per doz., 53.75 per 100. Grandiflorum Roseum. A new variety similar in habit to the above, but larger in everyway, the single leaves measure? inches across, and the flowers 5 inches, oi a bright rosy pink flowers changing as they grow older to deep wine red. 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. Sessile Californicum. A beautiful variety with mottle foliage. Flowers pure white. (See cut.) 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. TRITONIA. ji^ Exceedingly bright and free-blooming bulbous plants, highly valuable for ooth garden and pot culture. A dozen roots in a ten-inch pot will in the autumn make a beautiful display. The bulbs should be grown in pots in a cold frame during winter, and they can either be brought in the conserva- tory toward spring for blooming, or the bulbs can be kept dormant and planted out in May, like Gladiolus, and then be lifted in the autumn for winter blooming. Mixed Colors. 3 for lOc, 30c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. TRITELEIA. Unlflora. (Spring Star Flower.) A perfect little gem for either pot cul- ture or for borders. Each bulb produces several pretty star-shap- ed flowers, one or two inches across, of a delicate milky white suffused with blue and emits .he perfume of primroses. (See c it.) 2 for 5c.. 20e: per doz., $1.00 per 100.
